State testing is next week, so I have copying and more copying to get done as soon as possible. This means several early mornings this week, arriving almost an hour early, which could explain why I feel like the week should be over already.
While walking back and forth between my classroom and the copy room, I see a woman setting up tables in the open area between the science labs. It takes a moment or two until I realize what she is doing.
Could it be ...? Is it?
BREAKFAST!!!!!!!
The PTO is putting on a Teacher Appreciation breakfast for all of us. There are donuts, bagels, coffee cakes, muffins, quiche, juice, and fruit.
I run back to my room and tuck away the copying that I've done so far. I'll get back to it. I mean, really -- there's FOOD. This is awesome. It started out as a bad week, got worse in the middle, but now it's not so bad. Now it's all chocolate chips and cran-grape with fresh strawberries on the side.
If I can just figure out a way to make the weekend feel as long and drawn-out, I might be onto something.
